Terracotta Mud Jugs with Mug and Platter, Earthen Water Carafe Set, Pottery Jar for Drinking Water, 76 oz

Very nice product. The water smells and tastes earthy. Water gets cool naturally.

This is a great all-in-one water jug for your night stand. It is a saucer to hold the jug, the jug itself, and a cup that also can be used a lid. There is a very slight seepage of water through the clay walls of the jug, but it is quite minor and might stop after a while (this is common with un-glazed clay pots in general). However, the seepage keeps the water cool in the summer so it's a good thing. The water tastes mildly of clay at first but that passes in a few days. It looks beautiful and holds enough water for several nights (I think it's about 1.7 liters). It is a bit pricey compared to what they cost in Turkey, but then gain, it's shipped direct from Istanbul and where else are you going to get one of these if you are in the US (or any other place that isn't Turkey)? I love it.

This product is beautifully produced. I'm in the clay business. Its perfect.

I think only a select few are looking for these ceramics for water filtration so this one’s for you! I put some tap water and it took about 2 days for it to seep out. I live in Phoenix so our TDS is very high here, some of the dirtiest in the country, so it’s possible that either the pot needed a few more days to prime, OR, it’s that the water is so bad here. I put some already purified water in there and it worked overnight flawlessly. The good taste didn’t come until about 3 days of consistent use. Yes, it does sweat, I’m still learning but it seems to sweat more in well air-circulated dark places. Everything they say about this kind of water is true, it even improves the flavor of 7-stage purified water. I perfer using purified water in this, if I were using the tap water I would have to find some kind of antiviral solution like charcoal treatment and that would add more time and probably another jug. Hope this helps!

Product was as described, I just wish the didn’t dye from the outside, so it will work naturally as a water bottle/container that helps the water to gain its original texture.

Pitcher water has no flavor, it's a big disappointment. But keeping water stored in the cup gives a nice flavor. I would appreciate it if the seller can explain this! By the way, the water stays cold in both.

I want to first say that the carafe looks beautiful and i had no issues with the purchase and delivery experience.With that said, there should have been a disclaimer about the condensation of the water in the carafe. After researching myself, i discovered that terracotta is extremely porous. Carafe condensates in an ordinate amount of water leaving whatever the carafe is placed on sopping wet. Additionally, the condensation wastes a tremendous amount of water. I filled up the carafe to see if a potential seasoning of the clay would occur overnight. the next day, it lost more than 2" of water. i still have it seasoning now for three days and it is still leaking water.Although beautiful, i cannot recommend this product for its purpose.

Very good product.
